What was awesome in 2015? Top Six Horse Pics of Horsetrotting 2015

Last year at this time, I was thinking about the next year and all the places I’d like to ride.

This year, I’m reflecting on the past 12 months and all the fun I’d already had.

Here’s a list of the top six pics I loved from last year. Some are because I love the photos. But most are because I loved the experience and the image is merely a reminder of the charms of travel far and near.

My best memories of last year involve animals, especially horses.

But I can say that every year.

January 2015: Loved this Norwegian at Deerhurst Resort. I didn’t ride her, but spending a weekend at the resort with the dogs (and riding a Belgian) was my best winter memory. (And winter isn’t known for that).

April 2015: Finally got to ride a Norwegian at Conestoga Trail Rides in Waterloo, Ontario. One of the few pics of me I like. Maybe because I’m totally happy.

July 2015: Pan Am Games were held in Toronto in 2015, and the equestrian events were held in Caledon, Ontario about a two-hour drive from my home. The events were much hyped and met with mixed results, but my photos of the jumping event rocked.

October 2015: Rode my first, bumpy, Standard Bred at a Black Creek Stable trail ride about 20 minutes from my house. Just discovered it last fall. Sometimes there’s no place like home.

November 2015: Love this image from the annual Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, Ontario. Love the tradition of going every year with the gang from Ride with the Wind stables in Brantford, Ontario. Love looking forward to this year.

What dog travel awaits us this weekend? Turns out, we didn’t need to stray far from home. For a small town, Caledonia, Ontario, Canada was dog event central: K9 hosted a fundraiser August 12, 2017 for Zachary’s Paws for Healing, a unique non-profit that helps people in hospital, particularly those in long-term care, visit with […]

Few people visit Las Vegas to meet dogs, but that was a highlight of my trip to The Strip this year. Attending SuperZoo 2017, an annual pet-industry trade show featuring more products than you can dream of (check out round up one), was the main reason I flew to this land of lights and casinos. […]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…. No, not Christmas but close. SuperZoo! It’s SuperZoo time, a huge annual pet industry trade show in Las Vegas, where I went (sadly without my dog Victor) to be overwhelmed by both distractions in Sin City and the multitude of pet products, ideas, innovations and people who […]

Victor, my 12-year-old terrier cross, is a picky eater. Most dogs gobble up treats when offered, especially in the pet stores, but not Victor. He’s too distracted, and few treats interest him even at home. Travelling gets problematic because he’s even harder to feed. So, who better to taste test some of the treats we […]
